I’ve reached the age where everything I DO reminds me of something I've already DONE. I just read an excerpt of Pat Conroy’s new book and remember my father regretfully saying . . . about EACH Conroy book he read . . . “I’ve just read the book about that crazy southern family”. It always surprised me, as it did him, that he liked them enough to continue. He read some good stuff but was also a great fan of Zane Grey westerns. I stayed in Zane Grey’s house on Santa Catalina Island with David in the year before David died. Santa Catalina itself was interesting and Grey was a great fisherman.
Reading about Pat Conroy's newest book (after a 14 year hiatus) makes me want to visit Beaufort, SC.
